Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

3.5 stars — Despite being absolutely thrilled to have a heroine with *almost* my first name, I was a bit taken aback by the start of the book.  We’re definitely thrust into a dystopian nightmare and a trigger scenario (warning).  And while I am definitely intrigued by this bizarre world that Ms. Wright set up, […]

What Happens at Con by Cathy Yardley

What Happens at Con by Cathy Yardley

2.5 stars — I probably went into this wary from the little I remembered of Abraham from previous books, and unfortunately he never won me over. I totally understand that there is a WHOLE schwakload of humans out there still fully intrenched in toxic masculinity.  But if my hero is going to be swimming in […]

A Year of Love by Various Authors

A Year of Love by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3 stars — August and November were the stand outs for me!  I think I’m starting to realize I may not be into anthologies of short stories, especially when often times they are fan service, and if you’re not already a fan it leaves you a bit in the lurch. JANUARY – RINGING IN […]

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

4.5 stars — Well I was sucked in right from start to finish!  I don’t know if it was because Emma Wilder did such a great job narrating, and I could listen to her Liam for hours on end, or if the story was just that absorbing…so we’ll go with both. Obviously loved the narrator.  […]

Play Smart by Aly Stiles

Play Smart by Aly Stiles

3 stars — Let me start this review with a confession: I’m not really an enemies to lovers fan.  I KNOW!  So why did I request this book right?  The thing is, on occasion, I really love an enemies to lovers book, because there’s always exceptions.  And I DO love me a nerdy/rockstar romance, so […]

Demon Defeat: Part One by M.J. Haag

Demon Defeat: Part One by M.J. Haag

4.5 stars — Why is this series so freaking addictive??  SERIOUSLY, WHY??  God I love that.  I pick it up, and I just want to keep reading.  Which of course just makes it that much harder to wait (im)patiently for part two…but I will do what I must. Andie was a super intriguing heroine!  She […]

Counterpoint by J.E. Birk

Counterpoint by J.E. Birk

4 stars — While I found the beginning a bit slower, I really enjoyed Jeremy and Aaron together.  I felt like the issues they each faced were unique, something not as often explored. Jeremy was a playboy on the surface, but he was dealing with something pretty life changing in the background, something he didn’t […]

F*cking Awkward Holidays by Various Authors

F*cking Awkward Holidays by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3 stars — I started reading this anthology in September of *2017*.  I read a few, then set it aside.  Then I’d read a story, then set it aside.  There were a few good ones, but not as many as I’d probably like in an anthology.  A LOT of the stories were more fan […]

Where I Belong by J. Daniels

Where I Belong by J. Daniels

2.5 stars — Well huh.  That was pretty underwhelming for me.  Like, it was okay, but I wasn’t compelled.  There were definitely strong points, but there were also a lot of things that didn’t work for me. I both read and listened to this one.  I’ve listened to Mr. Summerer before, and in general I […]

WET by Cambria Hebert

WET by Cambria Hebert

3.5 stars — If you’ve missed the Hashtag series, and want something extremely similar, then you are going to love this story.  While for me it didn’t have the same connections and chemistry as #Nerd, it was still entertaining. NOTE: if you have triggers, please please search out trigger warnings for this book (there is […]
